Now, that might be by design, or it might be just the way it is. I for one am at a stage right now where I find the question in itself irrelevant. I'm more interested in how to deal with the whole mistery of life on a practical level.

Thing is I could easily fill up this blog with negativity, tell you about the going-ons in Mexico, all the bad news that's out there.

But what would be the point of that?

There is, however, a point in coming up with good news.

Downside is, you have to look for it - it's work!

I mean it, and not because of my particular circumstances: it requires effort to come up with good news.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT AIN'T OUT THERE!

Just today I received some very unsettling, bad news - and in the same event something was said that made me feel extremely good.

Now, my mind is easily impressed by bad news, it feeds on it - if I let it.

I rather go the extra mile, look for (and usually find) these little gems in my life, the 'good-news' items.
